de Wever Lodge

We loved our stay here! Amazing atmosphere. Arrived took the lodge and immediately felt relaxed. The decor was very thoughtful, there was nice music playing, and the place smelled amazing. The room was cozy with a private terrace. Enjoyed watching the stars by the wood fire at night. It’s lodged in the forest and felt very peaceful. We visited to celebrate our birthdays and the hotel staff surprised us with cake :) We only stayed for one night and came home feeling rested as if we had been on holiday for several days.

It would be even better to a few more vegan food options on the menu, especially for breakfast.

The location of Wever Lodge is exemplary - looking directly out onto the nature park, which has a range of walking routes through the dunes and woods directly surrounding the hotel. There is a delightful terrace surrounding the restaurant, with further seating in garden areas below the main terrace. It's always possible to find somewhere private to enjoy a drink, read or to relax. The restaurant offers good and varied food, good service, and a beautiful outlook. In the mornings they serve an extensive breakfast, with standard fare, and fresh cooked to order options. While our room (#15) was fairly small, it was perfectly equipped, had recently been refurbished. It has an excellent air conditioning, making it comfortable even during the 27-30 degrees enjoyed during our stay. Last but not least - all the personnel we encountered were friendly, helpful and well-trained. The hotel is just 10-15 minutes walk from the Otterlo entrance to the Hoge Veluwe park - so it's an ideal location for visiting the park and the Kroller Muller museum and gallery.

I guess access to our room (#15), up two flights of stairs was the only less than perfect point. The second staircase was particularly steep, with tiny steps. It would be challenging for some visitors.

The location is beyond perfect; one is a 10 minute walk from the Otterloo entrance to the Hoge Veluwe Park. The hotel itself is situated in the middle of the woods, with trails leading out basically from its terrace into the typical Veluwe landscape. The breakfast was great. The buffet may seem a bit less generous than some other places but this is a false impression. One can select from a wide ranging menu, all made fresh to order. The staff is utterly charming and helpful without ever sounding insincere. The beds were excellent.

There is truly only one place for improvement: the evening dinner was quite pricey and not at all tasty. That was a shame because, had the restaurant food been even just passable, the view from the hotel's deck would have compensated enough to eat there more than once.

Lovely setting in the forest, close to the National Park and the wonderful Kröller-Müller Museum. The room was very comfortable, with nice fittings, for two people it might have been a little small, but for me alone it was excellent, had windows on two sides. Breakfast was very good, including something cooked from their menu. The evening meal was also very good, but a little overpriced for what it was. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Nothing!

The location is amazingly good, in the woods away from through traffic and just by the open boundry of the Hoge Veluwe. 10/10 for location. The Lodge(Hotel) has a pleasant appearance and is well maintained. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was very comfortable on the ground floor. We had dinner there several nights and it was always well prepared and presented. Breakfast was always good with a great choice of both hot or buffet food. We feel that we have discovered a gem that we will want to visit again.

There is nothing to comment about

I loved the styling, decoration and furniture in the lodge. You really see that it is all about quality. Location is perfect. With view on nature. And last but not least, the food was amazing!

If I had to mention something, it was perhaps the lock of the door that was not perfectly working. The room was not super spacious. For the two of us it would be perfect, but with a little toddler perhaps a bit on the small side.

Excellent breakfast, if a little busy when we were there. The cottage was gorgeous and had an amazing view. Very easy access to the Hoge Veluwe national park. Great bistro with good food.

Some of the small details in the cottage could have been better thought out e.g. towel hook in the toilet, kettle to make cup of tea, box of tissues

The place is stunningly gorgeous. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive. They upgraded our room for no other reason than that they could (low season, not all the rooms were occupied). The scenery or view from our bedroom was breathtaking. Even the common spaces were beautifully appointed, very cozy and welcoming.

location was perfect for spending time at the National park. beautiful room and the breakfast was fantastic

If you like to sleep in make sure you ask for rooms further back from the restaurant. we were room 1 and you could hear them setting up for breakfast which wasn’t an issue for us as we are early risers

Thoughtful design and style. Beautiful location. Great food.

Looked like they were a bit understaffed. Several moments that orders took very long or none of the staff members even gave an impression they had seen us waiting.
